stupid prizes

I, can't take the blame
But I can't stay the same
And I can't play these games
And I can't play the spades
Cause I'm winning stupid prizes
And I can't use the lies, oh
The same old lies, I tried to stay alive

Tell me how I'm supposed to thrive
When all I've known is to survive
When all I've known is to rely on I
Tell me
How I'm supposed to thrive
When all I've known is to survive
When all I've known is to rely on I

I've been around the way
From Montego Bay
To the south Spain
Still I claim the pain
Laid on the beach was
Akeema and me
On the salty waters of the Adriatic Sea
But still our clouds I see
I, laid out my hurt and it
Brought folks to church
Let alone when I yearn is what I learn
But I'm six feet under the dirt

I, know I take a while
But I can't fake a smile
And my-my heart breaks a mile a minute
And I hate breaking down in it
When I'm around anyone
'Cause it's not any fun
But I do need plenty sun
Too bad I'm a
Queen of the night
It's when I see the brightest lights in my eyes

So how I'm supposed to thrive
When all I've known is to survive
When all I've known is to rely on I
Tell me
How I'm supposed to thrive
When all I've known is to survive
When all I've known is to rely on I
Tell me
How I'm supposed to thrive
When all I've known is to survive
When all I've known is to rely on I

On I
On I
On I
On I
On I
